I mean, considering that war is the "last refuge of the scoundrel", I'd say that if that was Trump's gambit to stay in he's not exactly doing a good job of ginning one up.

Why come you not got your tattoo

This is what you get for believing .gov lies

It is lulzy to think he is advocating somehow voting out these gangsters. Nevertheless, it's nice to see more people come close to the truth. It's worth noting how well he still is embodying these machiavellian ideals.

Hopefully next they will get upgraded to do the fortnite dance while yeeting your ass into a bush

It's interesting to consider the possibility that the Mithric cult and Christianity both grew out of grifting exiles currying favor in the imperial bureaucracy. I'm starting to realize how much of our culture and beliefs on so many levels are actually cast-offs from simple self-interested clout chasing. Then, like now, the clerisy and what they believe is what actually matters in the end.

To do anything practical you need fan shrouds, transponders and a bevy of other crap. I'm sure they'll decide to "certify" electric motors soon to more fully honor the memory of Juan Trippe soon.

There never was one. The only proper way to deal with haters is to laugh and not take them seriously...which implies there was never any conversation to be had. Pete doesn't seem to get this yet.

That's essentially why this site has no comments. What's the point? If you actually care you'd reach out to me directly instead of leaving public clout chasing. If you want to chase clout and beef, do it on Twitter where people care about that shit.

What to do with gasoline, which is half of every barrel of oil? We won't magically find something else to do with it after all.

Nevertheless, this fundamental instability is opportunity; when oil is cheap you can be assured it won't remain so for long.

Nominal free trade, but still have to comply with the worst of their regs to sell goods; essentially the same predicament US firms have regarding California. Still better than the alternative, as you can sell "good enough" goods worldwide now.

Yarvin makes a point which summarizes his take on why the USA is incapable of dealing with a pandemic:

Whole worlds can be fake, yet carry on. Our world will carry on. Maybe we will forget, probably we will forget, the level of fakeness it showed us here. Probably we will even become completely inured to it. This is the way things work in the Third World, where no one but a stone cold fool takes the world seriously.

USA has always had a 3rd world government, because it is preferrable to the alternative -- e.g. Killer Government of the European variety that makes gulags and murders millions. 250k dead who already were on schedule to croak within the year is irrelevant. But Yarvin nevertheless prefers lockdown due to being a hypochondriac himself.

Nevertheless, the advice to not take shit seriously is a good takeaway. As always this is the answer thanks to the way emotional investment by elites work; they are only elite because you care.

Interesting that Burnham saw this in the 40s; I realized this myself in 08 that the inmates were in charge of the corporate asylum. As above, so below.

Of course the goal was maximum power to him and his ilk all along.

I've always used "how many bookcases you own" as a good "should I talk to you or not" filter. Guess the cretins figured that one out.

They've been doing this horseshit narrative for years, only difference is that retards decided to run with it

ROB is in their name, muppets

Government: Duh, that's why we're doing it

Hitting stuff 40 miles away.

Lulz, only shows how confused Biden is and how deranged Trump is.

For the same reason the "special relationship" is there to wash US spying on its own citizens

Ultimately, the next twenty years should be devoted to plundering the country, especially its hydrocarbons, while the Lebanese will continue to blame scapegoats and ignore their real enemies. Already, the Israeli port of Haifa has partially replaced that of Beirut. Eventually, the country itself should be divided and the part south of the Litani River attached to Israel.

Deprived of its colonies, Phoenicia really can't work.

TSLA now screwed, Apple guaranteed to be more of a status symbol

4FT tall of shit

Our cybersecurity is shit, clearly the russians are the devil

So much for the stupid ass vaccine. Absolute retards thinking it hasn't spread worldwide yet.
